: it seems to be that most people think cortana is evil (and i think that might
: be pretty close), but what if she thinks she can use the flood against the
: covenant? i mean originally they wanted to use halo against the covenant,
: but that didn't turn out so well. obviously it would be hard to infect
: just ONE species with the flood, but that might be her plan, assuming the
: hitchhiker is the flood

Now wouldn't THAT be an interesting plot development. I can't wait for Halo 2, this is really starting to get to me.
